does marriage mean the same anymore anyway? apparently 34% of marriages end in divorce before 20 years mark, search online for divorce and one of the first things you will see is adverts of how to get quickie low cost divorces

in our throw away society has marriage not become just another "commodity" anyway, and when you have had enough just bin it, im relatively young in comparison to a lot of the posters on the site (could be wrong), but i still believe in marriage for life, rough with the smooth n all that goes with it and working through your problems, we will be celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary this month (maybe mrs church wouldnt use the phrase celebrating), and through that time there have been some real lows, but if you both believe that marriage means something, i believe that both will try when times are hard.

so for same sex marriage i say what the heck, go for it, but for me i would do away with divorce, sure people can split up, but you cant re-marry, once in a lifetime, then i think people would enter into marriage a little more cautious.

as a side note, i am booked to perform at a same sex marriage/blessing/civil partnership whatever the correct term will be then, this summer, the 2 ladies involved have been together a number of years and have a child (younger than the relationship), they seem happy enough so why shouldnt they join in matrimony, i am not religious but believe in marriage, even discussing "getting married again" on our 25th next year
